I'm really having a difficult time. ...It's come to a point where I'm afraid of the sun rising again tomorrow. I'm just afraid of any news report that has my name."

"I know how everyone is cursing me out every single day. I know what words they're using and the malicious comments they're using to curse me out.

I'm too tired now."
